Will a bad vac can on a 205A effect my idle?

Hmm, I never really noticed humidity causing an issue as much as just general higher temperature (usually my low idle issues occur during summertime, whenever the temps get up past 90 degrees or so, but that's also when humidity here in Ark tends to be sky high as well so it could be that.)

I will say I actually found a replacement 69 air cleaner (that came with the very hard to find thermostat flap cable) on the samba classifieds, so I bought that and put it on my vehicle instead (it was already cleaned and ready to use) and so far my low idle issue seems to have disappeared. However, this morning's temps were MUCH cooler than they have been in a while (I think it was in the upper 50s when I left for work this morning) so that could be the reason for the problem to have gone way as much as the replacement air cleaner.

thought i'd stop by and let you know that my idle/stalling issue seems to be fixed.

i replaced the fuel pump and installed a nos bosch condenser. but i'll be keeping an eye on things anyway.

now on to adding new steering box grease and a new steering coupler!
